As you said, there are two ways of going about the rest rate.

1)Disabling the need for sleep entirely.

2)Changing the rest fall rate.

I've considered either options but thought the first option was easier to implement and makes the pawn not need a bed.

I don't, and have ever used the mod, [Children, School, and Learning.] but I hear you out on the disadvantages of disabling the rest need. It has come to my attention that it could potentially cause problems with other mods in the future so I'm considering changing it to option #2 or, making the rest need static.

Stay tuned for updates.

If it helps at all, the rest fall rate is coded as:
<restFallFactorOffset>xxxxxx</restFallFactorOffset>

Also, it has to come just outside the statOffsets block of code. If it's inside that block, then it not only doesn't work, but generates an error in-game when you hover over the implants for a pawn.

For Example:

<statOffsets> <GlobalLearningFactor>0.25</GlobalLearningFactor> <ResearchSpeed>0.25</ResearchSpeed> <MedicalTendQuality>0.10</MedicalTendQuality> <MedicalSurgerySuccessChance>0.10</MedicalSurgerySuccessChance> <MentalBreakThreshold>-0.05</MentalBreakThreshold> <PainShockThreshold>0.05</PainShockThreshold> </statOffsets> <restFallFactorOffset>-0.5</restFallFactorOffset>

I commented out the disables rest line, and experimented with a rest fall offset of -.5 for level 1 cortex, and -.7 for level 2. With a circadian assistant, that should total a 90% reduction. They effectively still didn't sleep, since their rest need fell so slowly, but the Rest need was present at that point so they theoretically would at some point, and any other affect that might theoretically impact on the rest need for pawns could still affect them.

The rest fall rate seems pretty powerful with regards to pawn behavior, so a light hand might be warranted. I ultimately removed the rest fall rate I was experimenting with and just went with the circadian assistant because the pawns just didn't sleep very often otherwise. A 20% reduction seems to keep them pretty active.

A toggle in mod settings would be nice. Using EPOE, half cycler+ai chip caps consciousness at 100% so this is a nice upgrade.

Alternatively if you're up for it you could remove the half cycler functionality from the cortex and add an additional item that removes the need for sleep and maybe some other effects too like reduced hunger rate.

Any1 who wants to disable the no sleep part of the cortex u can go into " steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2496279558\1.2\Defs\HediffDefs " or where you have the game open the " ArchotechPlus_Hediffs_BodyParts_Archotech.xml " file in notepad and remove the " <disablesNeed>Rest</disablesNeed> " some where in the middle of the document.

oh is this intended? I thought I was going freaking crazy

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thanks :D I love the OPness of this mod, but I dislike the rest-disabledness.

Edit: Works! \o/

I came here looking for this. I'm doing a clan playthrough using Children, School, and Learning and this basically shut down clan growth. Thanks for the detail, I'll make a patch to remove the disablesneed for my copy.

Working on this patch myself now, would be cool if it could be a setting.
